Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas (gluten-free)
• 2 cups Red cabbage, thinly shredded
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 3 whole Radishes, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Pickled red onions
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the marinade evenly onto both sides of the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Grill for 5-6 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. The salmon should flake easily with a fork when done.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. Then, use a fork to gently break it into large chunks.

Step 6

While the salmon rests, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering shredded red cabbage onto each tortilla, followed by chunks of grilled salmon, a few slices of avocado, radish slices, pickled red onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.
